Not sure if it already has the ability to do this, but how about different rates based on the access number dialed. ie. 800# vs Local Access number.

Am I the only one interested in this?

Paul,

Using extracharge_did and extracharge_fee you can add a surcharge for a certain DID number (like adding 2c extra to the rates for an 1800 number). Also you can have ratecards that can match based on the DID (it's called DNID in the RateCard entry form).

marcelbarbulescu,

have you ever made either of these approaches work? if so can you please share the details ...

Actually I implemented extracharge_did and extracharge_fee and I'm using it in production. What problems do you have with it?

i have been trying to get that extracharge_did feature to work but it does not in my case.

i don't understand how it is supposed to capture the DID i'am calling from

i have gerry-rigged it to work differently where I overtly pass it the number I am calling from in the DeadAGI function call

I know that the portion of the routine that compares the numbers in the a2billing.conf and then computes the additional price works. But I can't get the A2B->dnid to work because I don't have a DNID. when I call my DNID value always says unknown

Quote:

// if an extracharge DID number was called increase rates with the extracharge fee
if (strlen($A2B->dnid)>2 && is_array($A2B->agiconfig['extracharge_did']) && in_array($A2B->dnid, $A2B->agico$
{
$fee=$A2B->agiconfig['extracharge_fee'][array_search($A2B->dnid, $A2B->agiconfig['extracharge_did'])$
$A2B->write_log("[CC_asterisk_rate-engine: Extracharge DID found: ".$A2B->dnid.", extra fee: ".$fee.$
for ($i=0; $i<count($this->ratecard_obj); $i++)

The extension in [a2billing] context in extension.conf should be something like "_X.":

[a2billing]
exten => _X.,1,Answer
etc.

It's not capturing the DID you're calling from but the DID you're calling to.
Just make sure that you land in a2billing context with an extension equal to your DID, and put that DID in extracharge_did.

If, for example, you have 18880123456 landing in [from-sip-external], you'll have something like:

[from-sip-external]
exten => 18880123456,1,Goto(a2billing,${EXTEN},1)

Ok, tested it and :

I only get valid DNID on SIP channels on IAX channel DNID is always "unknown"

therefore in my case it would only work with incoming SIP calls... not IAX ..

Can someone please simplify this for me?

I need to charge an extra 2c per minute when someone call in on a free phone acces number. When they call in on a local access number then the rate charged is as normal.

Can someone provide me with a step by step procedure of how to achieve this.

thanks.
